Popis: The article presents quantitative evaluation method of countries involvement in the international open access movement, which has been tested on in the case of the post-Soviet countries. It consisted in identifying, initially, eight open access indicators related to open access initiatives and tools, their weighting, normalization and aggregation as a weighted average. In the second case is a more stricter approach, the number of indicators was reduced to six, by eliminating the duplicates in the ROAR and Open DOAR data. In the case of Open Access Initiatives there were considered the Budapest initiative and the Berlin Declaration, while in the case of tools - data from the international registers, SHERPA/RoMEO, DOAJ, ROAR MAP and ranking of the OA repositories of Webometrics. The results of the calculations made it possible to identify four clusters of countries according to the degree of involvement in the international open access movement. The leading clusters include Ukraine and Russia, and in the most lagging cluster - Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
